A power tool<\/strong> is a tool<\/a> that is actuated<\/a> by an additional power source<\/a> and mechanism<\/a> other than the solely manual labor<\/a> used with hand tools<\/a>. The most common types of power tools use electric motors<\/a>. Internal combustion engines<\/a> and compressed air<\/a> are also commonly used. Other power sources include steam engines<\/a>, direct burning of fuels and propellants, such as in powder-actuated tools<\/a>, or even natural power sources such as wind<\/a> or moving water<\/a>. Tools directly driven by animal power<\/a> are not generally considered power tools.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power tools are used in industry, in construction<\/a>, in the garden<\/a>, for housework<\/a> tasks such as cooking<\/a>, cleaning<\/a>, and around the house<\/a> for purposes of driving (fasteners<\/a>), drilling<\/a>, cutting<\/a>, shaping, sanding<\/a>, grinding, routing<\/a>, polishing, painting, heating and more.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power tools are classified as either stationary or portable, where portable means hand-held. Portable power tools have obvious advantages in mobility. Stationary power tools, however, often have advantages in speed and precision. A typical table saw, for instance, not only cuts faster than a regular hand saw, but the cuts are smoother, straighter, and more square than what is normally achievable with a hand-held power saw. Some stationary power tools can produce objects that cannot be made in any other way. Lathes<\/a>, for example, produce truly round objects.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stationary power tools for metalworking<\/a> are usually called machine tools<\/a>. The term machine tool<\/em> is not usually applied to stationary power tools for woodworking<\/a>, although such usage is occasionally heard, and in some cases, such as drill presses<\/a> and bench grinders<\/a>, exactly the same tool is used for both woodworking and metalworking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
